Contractors and Miners,

BANGOR, Sept. 9.-Contractors in some
sections along the line of the Canadian Paci-
fic railroad, between GreenYille and the
western border of the State, are experiencing
great difficulty with the excavation work.
According to information received by the
Commercial, many Of them will throw up
their contracts, unless the road will promise
some assistance. They find the soil to be
mixed with sulphate of iron, rendering it so
hard that it cannot be moved without the
use of blasting powder. The material is
similar to bog iron and great deposits are
being found. Many iron miners are be-
coming interested in the deposits and are to
investigate them. In the meantime the ccn-
tractors are planning to leave their work.

HONESTLY MISTAKEN.
Mr.. Hazen's Explanation of the
Change In His Views.

CONCORD, N. H., Sept 9-Both branches Of
the New Hampshire House met this morning,
but no a Drum being present in either body
adjournn ent was made until Monday even
Ing. No busines of Importance was con-
sidered.
The statement from Mr.. Hazen that Gre
ated so great a sensation in the House yester-
day was as follows: "Mr. Speaker and gen.
tlemen Of the House Of Representatives /:
l fully concur with the gentlemen who have
spoken on this floor that the issue involved
in the pending motion is second to no other
which. in all our history, has claimed the
consideration Of this honorable body. I'm
pressed with these reflections, and realizing
the heavy responsibility resting upon me as
sworn member of this House, to say moth
ing Of tie special relation connecting my
name th the progress and destiny of the
Hazen bill, have tried to arm myself with
hrmness to do my whole duty in the hour
when this great question shall come to the
roll call Of final arbitrament l have stud
led the question with thoughtful care in the
various unfoldings before the committee,
and, having weighed and measured it 10 the
very best OF my ability, upon my honor as
man and my oath as a representative, l am
hnally unable to resist the conclusion that
have been honestly mistaken, as far as the
interests Of those who sent me are concerned,
and, learning this, l am honestly resolved
that no fear Of personal obloquy or false at
tachment to leaders shall deter me from de-
elaring, here and now, that the Atherton
bill, coupled with a bond which hold in NV
hand, Is more for the interest of my constit-
uents than the Hazen bill"
Continuing, Mr.. Hazen spake Of the inter-
ests OF his constituents as dependent upon
the extension of the railroad system of their
portion Of the State. Mr.. Hazen also pre-
sented bond of $50, 200, binding its signers,
who, he said, represented several millions of
dollars, to subscribe one half the necessary
funds to complete the Whitefeld and Jsffer-
son road to Berlin if the Boston, Concord &
Montreal and Concord roads do not unite
within one year from the passage of the Ath-
ert0n bill
Mr.. S. b. Page then arose and said: "The
gentleman stated from this floor that he pro-
poses to vote for the Atherton bill, in consid-
Grafton Of the reception of this bond, l here
by give notice that l shall challenge his vote
when it is offered by him ON the pending
question or any other incidental to the pas
sage of the bill"

Mccarthy or Good.

SACo, Sept. 9.-While ex-Mayor Powers

he discovered the body of middle aged man
lying on the river band a short distance be-
low the wharves. The body was removed to
Coroner Bradbury's undertaking rooms. 1t
had apparently been in the water more than
week and was so badly discolored as to
prevent Identification. 1t was at first be-
lieved to be the body Of Patrick Mccarthy,
the Biddeford florist, who mysteriously dis
appeared several weeks ago. But this
theory is discredited as Mccarthy was a
small, thin man, and the body found is that
of roburst man. Tonight it was learned
that Richard Good, a laborer, had not been
seen for eight days and the body is probably

NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 9-Capt. Beriben,
leader of the expedition which is said to
have started from Key West some days ago,
and to have landed near Caribien, arrived
in this city about six weeks ago, in an open
boat with three companions. He is fine
specimen of manhood, standing fully six
feet high, and tipping the scales at 24O
pounds. He has blush eyes and frank
countenance, and wears side whiskers. He
IS 81 years old, and is a scion of a wealthy
Republican family of Biscay, Spain. He
has lived for fifteen years in Cuba. and has
spent the greater portion of the time in
Spanish prisons, on account Of his liberal
Ideas and outspoken manner. He speaks
several languages, and possesses peculiar
magnetism which stamps him as born
leader. Before leaving here and during the
recent trouble between the volunteers and
the regular army in Havana, he planned to
go to that city, accompanied by a chosen
few, and to walk boldly into the Governor
Generals presence and kill or kidnap him,

intention and he was foiled in that scheme
